The San Francisco branch of Cody’s Books will go the way of many bookstores and close its doors on April 20th. Situated in a high profile shopping area, with the Apple Store and Border’s Books nearby, plus a Barneys under construction, the store was losing $70,000 a month. Andrew Ross, president of Cody’s, took a huge risk in opening the store 20 months ago, mortgaging his house to do so. A long-lived Berkeley location on Telegraph Ave closed a year ago. But the Cody’s on Fourth Street in Berkeley is still doing well, so all is not yet lost.
